Shower tray repair near Blackhall

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we handle shower tray repair in Blackhall

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We’re often asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Do you need shower tray repair in Blackhall?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Blackhall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in Blackhall

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
